Green River Dan Evans Bridge Reopens to Traffic
State Route 169 on the Green River Dan Evans Bridge reopened on Tuesday morning after nearly a month of being closed to traffic.
The 93-year-old Green River Dan Evans Bridge was forced to close after Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) crews discovered damage to the bridge’s girders during an inspection.
Reopening this bridge reflects our continued commitment to maintaining safe, reliable infrastructure across Washington.
According to WSDOT, the steel truss bridge was built in 1932 to span the Green River between Black Diamond and Enumclaw, with approximately 10,500 vehicles using the route daily in 2024.
The Dan Evans Bridge is a direct connection between Black Diamond and Enumclaw.
In other news, two right lanes of southbound I-5 are blocked after a pickup truck was wedged under a fuel hauler early Tuesday morning.
